TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to amino compounds useful as medicines, and in particular it relates to amino compounds useful as therapeutical drugs for various diseases in which angiotensin IV participates.

BACKGROUND ART

In the renin-angiotensin system, peptides relating to coronary vessels and electrolyte homeostasis are produced by the enzymatic peptide-degradation cascade. In the cascade, angiotensinogen is first converted by renin into physiologically inert angiotensin I, angiotensin II, angiotensin III and finally into angiotensin IV which is a hexapeptide, successively. Angiotensin IV receptor is known to be distributed at high concentration in various organs such as brain (in particular, hippocampus), adrenal gland, heart, kidney, smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. It is also reported that angiotensin IV relates to various physiological functions such as acceleration of renal blood flow (Swanson et al., Regulatory Peptides, 1992, 40, 409), cerebral vasodilation (Haberl et al., Circ. Res., 1991, 68, 1621), inhibition of cell proliferation (Barker and Aceto, Am. J. Physio., 1990, 259, H610) and hypermnesia (Miller-Wing, et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Thr., 1993, 266, 1718).

On the other hand, some peptide compounds are reported to act on angiotensin IV receptor agonistically (Sardinia, et al., Peptides, 1993, 14, 949; ibid., 1994, 8, 1399). However, these peptides should be composed of at least 5 amino acids to express high activities and have some problems in safety and the like. The amino compounds of the present invention have not been known.

In addition, reduction of the amino compound (1c) gives an amino compound (1c') of the present invention. ##STR9##

An ester derivative (d) is reacted with a reductant-3 and an amino derivative (i), successively, and then treated with a reductant-1 to give a diamino derivative (q). The amino-protective groups of the diamino derivative (q) are removed to give an amino compound (1d) of the present invention.

Test Example

The binding capability to angiotensin IV receptor was measured by using Hartley guinea pig hippocampus referring to the method described by Miller-Wing et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., vol. 266, pp.1718 (1993).

The Hartley guinea pig hippocampus was homogenized in a 50 mM Tris hydrochloride buffer solution (pH 7.4) containing 1 mM ethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 100 μM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF). After centrifugation at 900× g, the resulting supernatant was further centrifuged at 48,000× g. The precipitate was washed once with the same buffer solution and suspended in 50 mM Tris hydrochloride buffer solution (pH 7.4) containing 150 mM sodium chloride, 1 mM EDTA, 100 μM PMSF and 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) to give a protein concentration of 50 μkg/ml as a crude membrane specimen.

The resulting membrane specimen was reacted with 0.2 nM ¹²⁵ I-angiotensin IV and a test compound dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide at 37° C. for 90 minutes. ¹²⁵ I-angiotensin IV binding to the membrane was filtered under suction on GF/B filter paper with the use of a cell harvester for laboratory. The radioactivity on the filter paper was measured by using a gamma-counter. The non-specific bond was measured in the presence of 1 μM angiotensin IV, and the specific bond was calculated by subtracting the non-specific bond from the total bond. The binding capability (IC₅₀) of the test compound to angiotensin IV receptor was measured as the concentration of the test compound for 50% inhibition of binding from the inhibition curve obtained by reacting 0.2 nM ¹²⁵ I-angiotensin IV with the test compound at various concentrations. Results are shown in Table 1.
